​​CI Lab, Week 10 – Airtable show and tell
  • ​​We’re going to start class by sharing your progress using Airtable. Each of you will take turns explaining how you are using the Airtable API to pull content from you bases and insert it into the page using JavaScript. We’ll use the order listed below to take turns presenting. After that, we’re going to split into pairs of 3 and do small group meetings.

​​Small group meeting schedule

  • ​​Please meet in the Zoom room promptly at your group’s meeting time, listed below. We’re going to meet in small groups to talk through code together and help debug each other’s problems. Hopefully we’ll get to learn from each other, and we may see that many similar coding problems are happening in each of our code.

​​    Questions for next week

  • ​​I’d like to continue keeping track of common coding questions to discuss next week. Before next week’s class, please submit a question below. I’d like each student to submit at least 1 unique question if possible.
​​
  • ​​How can you use JavaScript to perform the same task multiple times, in different places in your code? I’ve heard you can do this through the use of functions, but I don’t understand what that means.
  • ​​Since you mentioned about avoiding using the window.open​ function to open to a new tab for links, what would be the better way to write the code?
  • ​​What would be the best way to randomly display a row of information from the Air table by clicking a button? (Similar to the DOM exercise, but I’m wondering how that could be applied to the Airtable data)
  • ​​math.random allows JavaScript to randomly pick what it pushes out from whatever is on. I was wondering can you make it more specific with colors? I am using math.random to make the background for my website be a random color but I don’t want any of the dark dark colors to appear. I am not sure if there is a specific number that takes from bright and pastel colors that doesn’t include dark colors.
  • ​​What are some ways you can filter and sort data returned from Airtable? For example, sort rows by title, by date, or to filter only rows that have a particular keyword.
  • ​​How can I “interrupt” the data pushed by Airtable to add captions/comments/titles?
